The Result Of n Fight

Pat Cooney, an Irishman who has
charge of the grove and farm of Gard
ner & Eaton, over the Heights, was Sc
verely beaten on Thursday by negro,
whose name we did not learn, but who
was working on the place of III. E. Cleve-
land, on the Heights. From what we
could learn it seems that the men had a
n quarrel several days since. when mu-
tual threats of humiliation We're ex-
changed, eliminating in row on Thurs
day. Pat tried to shoot the darky, but
his aim was bad, when the 1arky rushed
in. secured the gun and beat Pat severely
over the head and shoulders, Iniuring
him so badly that at one time it was
thought that his wounds would prove
fatal. However, the wounded man was
reported as getting along all right yes
terday, and will no doubt be up and
about his business in few days.

CURED near New York last week. An
elderly man named Reid had married a
lady thirty-five years younger than HIM
self. She tired of him and elOped, leav-
ing for him an endearing letter, as fol-
lows: Dear Old Chestnuts: You
know George; yes. George. You should
know George. sIf you don't l do. Well,
George is u real nice man and treats me
splendidly. Is it necessary for me to
say that George and 1 are having a good
time? But no matter, Ill tell you any
way. Yes, darling, have deserted you
and am with a man L love. Had |
known him years ago l would never
have married you. Good-by. You old
Foggie." To be deserted is bad enough,
but to be called ''Old Chestnuts' is add
ing deep insult to injury.

A Lesson.

The Democrats of Chicago had
elected Carter Harrison Mayor of the
city for some years they again NOM
mated him. Every Democratic pa.
per in the city opposed his election.
He was the head of the "ring" that
ran the lewdness and viceof the city.
Decent Democrats could stand it no
longer. There was a grand revolt
against the fixed machine nomina-
ton. Finding defeat inevitable,
Harrison declined to run and recon-
mended his followers to support the
social-labor candidate. The Demo-
cratic party refused to do any such
thing. There being no other candi-
date. the Republican candidate over
whelmingly defeated the labor cam
didate by near 10000 majority.
Thus, through "boss" and ina
chine" management. did the DEM
ocracv lose the city-indeed, failed
to have candidate to vote for. The
Harrison Ring would have them
selves or no one. Is not this a les
son to our own boss and machine
management in this State? Should
not the honest masses of the party in
time prepare against any such fatal
results-HdgerSto,on Matt, Dem.

Obituary..

Harriet M. Brown, widow of the
late Henry Brown, died on the 10th
of April, 1887, in Grantsville, of an
acute illness of many weeks dur
alton. Besides for number of years
she had been afflicted with nearly
the severest of all physical infirmi.
ties-almost total blindness. Yet all
these ills of life were borne from first
to last without murmer or complaint.
No matter how thick or gloomy were
the pending clouds, she still main
tanned her aforetime smiles and good
cheer for all who approached her.
She was born near Frostburg, Md,
in lSOS-her parents were William and
Margaret Shut. Was married In
July, 1887, to Henry Brown. Ever
since then lived near or in Grants
vile. Her late husband met most
shocking death in May, 1869, from
the explosion of some part of the
machinery in a barrel factory. Since
then her life has been more than pre-
viously retired. In these sad years
her devoted daughter Margaret has
been her constant comfort and stay.
Her other children married and gone,
but always In range and readiness for
filial ministrations, which were plen-
tifully and tenderly bestowed.
Neighbors, too, were kind and at.
tentiye, as though moved by the in
centives of kindred or affinity. And
who in all this adverse world is like
unto the neighbor "who binds up
wounds" and "pours in oil" for the
sick and faint. Her numerously at
tended funeral show how much she
was loved in life, and how her mem.

She was the mother of five chill.

hopes and prospects we're at once
blasted; Annie, the wife of George
Charles George. another son, died
about twelve years ago; Charles and
Margaret both living, the latter un-
married. She leaves surviving two
very aged half-brothers, George Mat
thews and William Shutz. She had
but one full brother, DIR. Joseph
Shutz, who died in Ohio about
twenty-five years ago. The late Mrs,

1t Is common thing for fishermen
